What flavor of TDD do you practice?
In this episode we talk about:
- Classical vs Mockist TDD
- Detroit vs London (I actually refer to it in the episode as Chicago instead of Detroit. Oh well.)
- Static vs Behavior
- Inside Out vs Outside In
- Double Loop TDD
- BDD
- FDD
- Tracer Bullets
- Rules of TDD
- Team Structure
- Lean TDD
This is definitely an episode I'd like feedback on. Reach out to me for further questions or if I missed some crucial variant of TDD that you know and love.
